(Editor’s Note, 5.6.2011: Conservatives need to be advised that they are being as manipulated for this election cycle as the liberal left was in 2008 with the media marketing of Obama. This time around, the marketed candidate knows exactly what to say to you to get your vote by appealing to YOUR values, but the FACTS don’t lie; Donald Trump donated 50K to Rahm Emanuel’s campaign, Herman Cain was the chairman of the Kansas City Fed (see below), Newt Gingrich worked with Clinton to establish global trading rules. DO NOT be the corporate-owned moos they believe you to be! Ask your candidate how they feel about the United Nations and the World Bank – then vote.)
Fox News Channel will be hosting the first GOP presidential debate this evening at 9pm eastern. Dr. Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum and Tim Pawlenty will be participating, and because globalists Romney and Gingrich will not be attending, you might actually hear some ideas to solve our nation’s current dilemmas without completely selling out America’s sovereignty.
When I find a live streaming link, I will post it.
(Listen up folks; there may not be much more time left. The ‘managed decline’ this administration, Treasury and Fed have been steering looks to have some outside influences.)
Monster readers know that I have been concerned about the collapse of the dollar for some months now. According to Mr. Denninger over at Market-Ticker, “We Got Problems“. I heartily suggest you check out his article about the movement of the dollar and then come on back to hear what Dr. Ron Paul had to say about the very same subject to the Virginia Tea Party this past Monday.
According to Bob Woodward being interviewed on CNN, an Obama/Clinton ticket in 2012 ‘is on the table‘. My question for my former democrat readers is would you vote for this ticket if Hillary is on it? (Conservatives; try to keep the verbal abuse to a minimum please.)
The bad news for Ben Nelson? Nebraskans and the rest of America are not going to forget the prostituting of a U.S. Senator’s vote on health care. There could be 10 years between now and Nelson’s next re-election bid and Nebraskans will not forget considering they are even more opposed to Obamacare than voters nationally.
The good news for Senator Ben Nelson is that he doesn’t have to face Nebraska voters until 2012.
If Governor Dave Heineman challenges Nelson for the Senate job, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows the Republican would get 61% of the vote while Nelson would get just 30%. Nelson was reelected to a second Senate term in 2006 with 64% of the vote.
Nelson’s health care vote is clearly dragging his numbers down. Just 17% of Nebraska voters approve of the deal their senator made on Medicaid in exchange for his vote in support of the plan. Overall, 64% oppose the health care legislation, including 53% who are Strongly Opposed. In Nebraska, opposition is even stronger than it is nationally.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters in the state believe that passage of the legislation will hurt the quality of care, and 62% say it will raise costs.
Overall, 40% of Nebraska voters have a favorable opinion of Nelson while 55% have an unfavorable view. Those figures include 12% with a Very Favorable opinion while 34% hold a Very Unfavorable view.
